- AI, EPS, JPG, PSD (LZW Compression) files are also acceptable if required
TIPS:
- Create GRADIENTS in Photoshop and Add noise to gradient to mitigate banding
- Create DROP SHADOWS & TRANSPARENCY EFFECTS in Photoshop to avoid issues
- When saving in Photoshop, use LZW Compression
- When saving very large files in Illustrator, de-select "Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities"
- Colour gradients cannot be colour matched.
- Colour results overall will differ from one printer or print material to another. Printing project items at different times/days may also cause colour shifts.
